Vedclass · Answer

(B) Restriction endonucleases are enzymes that recognize specific palindromic nucleotide sequences in $DNA$ and cut the sugar-phosphate backbone at specific sites on both strands of the $DNA$ molecule.Option $A$ is correct because these enzymes act at specific internal positions.Option $B$ is incorrect because restriction endonucleases cut both strands of the $DNA$ double helix,not just one.Option $C$ is correct as they cleave the phosphodiester bonds in the sugar-phosphate backbone.Option $D$ is correct as they identify specific palindromic sequences.
